[Goblin] Avoid fall damage

[oslofreak]

This is very common sense and I'm sure a lot of my fellow goblins are doing this already, but I figured I'd give the unenlightened a heads up. I did a search and couldn't find anything on this specific mechanic, so...


Easily enough, the tip is that with the Goblin racial Rocket Jump, you can avoid fall damage in the same way Blink works. Whenever you jump off a cliff/ledge (or get knocked; pesky shamans!!!), simply wait until you're within what would be a safe height to fall from, do Rocket Jump and you will reset your fall.

Eg, a shaman knocks you off a ledge that is 400 yards up and you're heading for death. When you're about 30 yards over ground, do Rocket Jump and you'll only receive damage equal to a fall from 30 yards up.

Saved me a few times already...

Have fun.

I tried this, but could not get it to work. I can do it with blink easily though.... Perhaps my timing is off.

[oslofreak]

Yeah, the timing is a bit harder to do than on a mage (I've got one of those as well), but once you figure it out, it's really easy.

Like I said, very common sense trick that most Goblins probably already do. However, you'd be surprised how many people haven't thought of this...

Another useful and similar trick is the Heroic Leap ability that warriors have, 100% chance to avoid falldmg, unless you fail ofc
